Junta presedt, and communicated to the Regency. at the time of 'iti:installation. " The King, and in his Royal name the Supreme Cemral Junta of Spain and the Indies.- "As it has been my chief care-to collect the Spa nish nation in the General and Extraordinary Corte's, in order that they; representing - the individuals of all classes, ranks,' and orders . iti the state, after having pointed out the means of driving away the enemy 'who has .so perfidiohsly invaded, and cruelly desolated some of the provinces, they should •on due consideration regulate what shall be most expedient to give stability to the Constitution; and j further, what shall give purity ,and every possible perfection' to the Civil and criminal legislation of the -kingdom, and to the several branches, of the public administration. For these purposes; :.by my Royal Decree of the -lath of last month, 1 - .cOrumanded that my said Central Junta should remoirefrom Se vill the Isle de Leon, in order that they might conveniently p'epare the business for the accom 7 plishment of this great design. [Then follows aiong.series of articles on this subjeCt, of winch the subsequent are the . most essential - .) " Those Grandees shall not be admitted into the Cortei which are not the'cliiefs of their families, nor such .s have not attained the- age of- twenty-six years, nor Prelate's or Grandees which are under pr , ces; for any crime, nor such which shall have S in !iiited to the Fiet.cii Government. hrkler that the provinces of Asia and Ame rica-(which on account of the shortness of the tittle cannot be repre.enied by deputies of their own no titillation) may not be entirely -excluded from the Cortei, the Regency is to form an Elealoral Junta, composed of six persons of character, natives of those dominions, who will select from the Resi dents in Spain, bOrn in the same country, forty per- eons, to be 'chosen by lot, from which number twenty•six are to be seleded in the saute manner, which t wenty-six are to represent in the Corte those extensive territnties. In the same Manner deputies are to be obiain ed for the provinces occupied by the enemy ; eighteen to be named for each province, out `of Which four are to be appointed. " That the preparatory labours may proceed un obstructed, a 'deputation of the Cones, coosisting of eight persons, six natives of Spain, and two Of America, whose duty it will be to manage the forms respecting the Cortes, in order that the attention of Government may not be withdrawn from the im portant concerns in which it is engaged. " The Junta. of the Cortes shall be under these distinctions : the Junta of Ways and Means for the snppott of the war; the Junta of Finances; the Junta of Legislation; the Junta of Public 1114ra:find ; the Junta Ecclesiastical ; and the Junta Ceremonial. " When the business is opened the Cortes shall be divided into two estates, the one of the People, composed of the' eputies of the Provinces of Spin and America, and the other of the Nobles,-coin posed ,of the rielatea acid orand_eb c or ilia i be propositions which in my royal name, the Regency shall make to the. Cortes, shall be examin ed first in the popular AiSembly, and if approved by it, shall be afterwards transmitted to the : Nobles, to be by them recohsidered, " The same Method shall be observed with re spect to such propositions as originate in either of the estates, which shall be transmitted from the one to the other for re-examination. " Propositions not appruved by both are to be void. " Propositions approved by both are to be ;ent to the- Regency for its sanction: " The Regency is to sanction the proposition so approved, unless for grave and weighty reasons it should not appear expedient. " In such cases the Regency is to return the Pro position to the'Cortes, with a clear explanation of their Motives for rejeding it. gi If the proposition so returned, be not approved by two-thirds in each Assembly, it is negatived, and cannot be resumed until the meeting of a future Cores. " i ; approved by two-thirds, it is to be again sent to the Royal Sanction. so returned, the san&ion is to be given by the 11-!czency in three days, but if withheld after that time, it to become a part of the public laW, and to be announced as such. " Tile Regency may assign the time when the Comes is to 4ertninate, but not bc!ore the expiration monihs from its installation. " During the time that the Cortes ts discharging its functions, the Regency is to continue in the full exercise'of the Executive Power. The Cortes there foie will contine,iis duties to the exercise of the Le gislative Power, which properly belongs to it, %With out admitting discussions on the Executive, and by such means distracting their attention from the se rious matters which should engage it. They will direct then' entire regard to the formation of laws, to the introduction of salutary reforms, to the cor rection of the abuses of the old, Government, to the improvement of the present state of the nation, and t o the precautions for its future security ; fulfilling in this manner their high and important duties.— Royal Isla de Leon, January 29, 1810.

MArtGATa, Seri. 4.—Yesterday, at Ramsgate, a young Lady threw herself from the Cliffs, and was dashed into atoms! The. cause of. this fatal proceeding was an incurable attachMent'for a young man of that town, whom her parents sternly for bade to see again, not conceiving him to be her equal in circumstances, or birch; but alas ! Love hath no genealogical records for a young loomoni, nor will the ardent urchin co ndescend` to i:alcuidte ,upon profit and loss,- when he. is blownti; up the etnbers of passion. ;, _ Yesterday a chamber-maid belonging to a board ing-house in Cecil-square, cut her 'bloat, but I,u, mortally : this, it is said, was a love a:flit- The poor wench became enamoured with 6a) deceiver,- who bad proffered her his voyss thick as .hailstones tall •in vvinter, and outi cularly, deiouted the verbal poison. 'Mi. JAI vi 'has dressed the wound, and some hopes: are en tertained that the deluded girl *nay do well. The Philander, who thus tripp e d. up ti: e h ee l s of het heart, is a dashing City Buck of the third order: • FEMALE PATRIOTISM.—A letter from -Cadiz, dated the tith of August, mentions a , trait ut he roisni by the women of the Havaniraii, whiCh may well rival any thing ever done by the cianr.s of Sparta: It is said that some of the. Ladies of the Havannah-waitedon the Crovernor, and in the name of 100 of the satne sex, asked permission to go to Spain to oppose the ehemy, 9 and thereoy acquire glory equal to that . olloained by,ttie women of Ge rona, Tarragona, &c. • Some evenings ago, three young ladies walking along the foot-path, in the neighbourhood of Putt. Glabgow, were met by two men in the dress of sal - - tors, walking in a quiet sober manner, but as t hey passed, one of them stabbed the lady next him in the arm - with a clasp knife, which he held open in his hanc4 . and • proceeded forward without either speaking or looking behind; unfortunately the la dies were. so much terrified, thry had •not the pre sence of mind to send uny pursuit after the villains till it was ton late. A second investigation of the circumstances re lative to the escape, of Robert Roberts,. and Har. per, took place at Cold-bath-fields Prison, on Wed nesday, before a Prison Committee of t wefity-one Magi,trates, the Bank Directors, &c. at 'which the two Members for the County of Middlesex were present. . Aris, jun. who, as we have before stated, is in New Prison, was not brought up; not was Mr. Aris, the Governor, called on. The persons ex amined were those who had not been called on at the first examination, and their testimony wes taken previous to a public examination of Aris, tun. which will take place in a few days. Roberts has not yet been taken, although the Bank Direaors have offered auo guineas for him. Besides his other vicious propensities, he was a great play man, and it has been ascertained that he lately kept company solely with gamesters, and his ill-gotten produce was chiefly expended on cards and dice, amongst the professors of which hevas a flat of the first rate. Yesterday tiorning, at an early hour, a duel was fought on Putney Heath between a Mr. Payne and a Ceptain Clarke; the former received hiS antagonist's ball in the groin. Medical aid being at hand, the wounded person had the most prompt assistance. About eleven o'clock the ball was extraded by Mr. Heaviside. The case, we understand, te s be of a very doubtful nature. The Cause of the unfortunate diffe rence is not known ; it arose from a dispute, a iew days since, at Scarborough, in Yorkshire. We hear that both the parties are gentlemen of great respec tability. Capt. C. has fled. A duel was fought at Moulsey Hurst on Monday morning, between a Capt. Hants, and Mr. Coleshall, a gentleman of some celebrity on the turf, in conse quence of a dispute relative to some trivial bet at Eg bam oces. After exchanging two shop, the Captain was dangerousiy wounded in the left breast, and his antagonist has escaped. The parties were stopped whilst measuring their ground to fight in Middlesex on Saturday, by the information of Mr. Coleshall's brother. We mentioned yesterday, that on Tuesday a duel had - been fought at Haddington. The parties, we now learn, were Captain Rutherford, of the 25th regiment, and Mr. Cahill, the Surgeon, who, in consequence of a misunderstanding which took place in the mess-room, met in a park near Haddington, accompanied by seconds, and ehchanged two shots, by both of which Copt. Rutherford was wounded, and died soon afterwards. Mr. Cahill, has in con sequence disappeared.

The p,yosecutor; how ever, couldnot'swear to the hour of the night, whe ther it was seven or eleven o'clock, and the Patrole and ,other Officers of ,the night swore that he was quite insensible from liquor. • Witness was now brought forward by the pro- . senator, in support of his s tatem en t, b e i ng ne i t h er more nor less than the servant in this very house of bad fame into which the prosecutor had carried the prisoner, the person Nyhorn he had been accustomed to visit.

The moor game in the northern parts of England and in Scotland have been plenti ful, in spite of the custom now mucl, pra'aised on the moors of burning the heath, to renew the growth of it. The pursuit of the game, owing to the late sultry weather, was very fatiguing, and the conveyance of it to London proportionably dif ficult.
